Woman Suffrage VS.. IlIiteracy.

The statistics of iiliteracy given by
Senator Ingalls, arc. when fairly stated.
among the strongest arguments for the
enfranchisement of women.
1t appears. from the census, that. Of
the cOlOred women. % 4-10 per cent.

and, OF the white women, 80 per cent.
can read and write. numbering 9. 46I.-
794. making total of women who can
read and write, 9,S01.0 54. The litter
ate women number 1926. sos. leaving
a majority of educated women, 1885,
sol.
As Senator ingalls, regards 1,9O8. $40
male illiterates as "a menace to the
perpetuity and stability of free popu-
lar government. he ought to urge the
Sixteenth Amendment, which will en-
franchise nearly ten million educated
women. These, after neutralizing
both the male and female illiteracy at
the polls, will bring an educated ma
jority of 5,616.691 women, nearly six
million, to add to the educated male
voters. Since. in each sex. there is an
intelligent majority, by uniting these
majorities the influence of the illiterate
minority will be vastly diminished.

A New Suffrage journal.

The Wisconsin Woman Suffrage As

the publication of the Wisconsin Citi-
zen. A quotation from its salutatory
says:
''When men really appreciate the
energy and wisdom shown by women
in the various walks of life in which
they are now found. we think they
will surely feel that women are capable
of judging what is good for them; and
though to many men the advantages
OF the ballot to women may not be APP
parent, we think most men will say
We can trust the women, let them
take their places by our side and share
with us the privileges and responsible
ties of full citizenship"

Home Industries.

It is clearly evident to most Ameri-
cans that the advantage of this coun-
try lies in multiplying domestic in-
dustries. rather than in diminishing
them. Every new industry that can
be maintained. which supplies a want
felt by the people. is clear gain in
every way. as employing workmen.
keeping profits at home. using materi-
ais produced here. paying wages that
are spent here, and tending to make
us industrially Independent. The very
highest form of national life is that
which exists with the widest possible
diversifcation Of industry. England
suffers to-day because she has INTENSE
fed her manufactures and neglected
to cultivate her soil thoroughly.
Ireland and India suffer because they
have agriculture without manufactures.
We give our people chance in every
direction. and so we possess the
highest prosperity and the most robust
national life.-Iertile Record.

A Woman's Heroism.

A special to the New York World,
dated New Haven. September 1, says
that w. C. Munson, New York
broker, who has been stopping at the
BranfOrd Point House for some days,
took Miss Oliver, of New York. another
guest of the hotel. out rowing few
days since. When the shore was left
behind he overturned the boat. Miss
Oliver. who is good swimmer, struck
out for the shore, and succeeded in
reaching it. Munson could not swim,
and was in great peril. Miss Parkin-
son, young Philadelphia lady, saw
his predicament from the shore, and
pulled out to where the broker had
just disappeared. As he came up for
the last time Miss Parkinson seized
him by the collar and dragged him
into the boat.

Facts for Eree.TraderS.

Those peculiar political economists
who contend that free trade, or a tariff
for revenue only, which is practically
the same thing, should be adopted ny
the United States because under such
a policy all the markets of the world
would be open to ms. are asked by Sem
ator Dawes to answer this simple ques-
ton: "How can a nation that is as yet
unable to fully supply its own market
successfully compete for the control of
others?" The fallacy of the free-trade
argument is apparent at a glance
when it is put to such test. 1t will
be time enough to talk about disPens-
ing with a protective tariff when we
shall no longer be buying goods in
Europe which we should manufacture
for ourselves. and when all parts of
the country shall be as well supplied
with mills and factories as the New
England States now are.-St Louis

FANcIES OF THE DAY.

Autumn styles in Dress Goods, Tailor
Made Jerseys and Wraps.
"Never was dress more elaborate and
costly than Mt present, and yet never
has economy been more studied than il
is now"
These two facts, at first sight appa-
rently contradictory. are in reality
reconcilable, and the explanation may
be applied to more matters than that Of
the wardrobe merely.
This is an age of competition. Nation
completes with nation. class with class
and individuals with individuals. The
little maid who wheels a baby's car
rage over unwary feet on the pave
ments wears a dress of the same form
and outline as that worn by the ':first
lady in the land"
The indications are that jerseys will
be more largely worn than ever, and
many new styles are being shown
Plain Jerseys. with and without vest
fronts. it is thought, will be less popu-
lar than their braided or beaded rivals.
Boucle and tufted seem to have lost
their hold on the popular fancy, and
plain cloths in solid colors seem to be
superseding them.
Tailor-made jerseys appear to b

ing reversed fronts covered with jet

brown seem to be the favorite colors in
jerseys.

bids fair to prove quite fashionable.
The styles Of these costumes will be
exceedingly simple from the fact of the
fabric being rather heavy and inflex-
ible. The basque will be similar to
that of riding habit, and has very
high collar and tight sleeves. The
only trimming permissible will be the
use of silver buttons ornamented with
fantastic devices

Prohibition and Woman Suffrage.

We congratulate the Prohibition
party of Massachusetts, says the
Woman's Journal, upon its consistent
and honorable record on the woman
suffrage question. It has the enviable
pre-eminence of being the first po-
litical party ever organized upon the
basis of equal rights irrespective of
sex. In 1876 it adopted the following
basis of membership:
Hereafter. women who are prohib-
iticnists in principle and who possess
the qualifications Of age. residence and
education required of male voters.

primary meetings with an equal voice

Not a One-Sided Question.

The Pail Mall Gazette says that
marriage is no longer an entirely one
sided bargain. 1t is tending toward
the only true ideal of lifelong COM
partnerships partnership ON equal
terms, with equal give-and-take on
both sides. Women no longer feel
bound to render that implicit obedience
which was considered de rigeur in our
great-grandmothers' days, and men
no longer universally demand it."
Thanks to the woman's rights move
ment!

Must Have Unlimited Suffrage.

Commenting on the charge of Sena-
tor Ingalls, that Massachusetts women
do not vote for school committee, the
Salem Observer says:
''This is all true, but it should be
added in justice to our women that if
men had been offered the right to vote
under such narrow restrictions and
with so few incentives. they would
have been equally negligent of the OPP
portunity. Nothing less than unlim-
tied suffrage will ever afford an ade-
quate test Of the question:

LILY'S VENTURE.
An Enterprise Which Proved En-
tirely Satisfactory.

Our heroine was somewhat inappro-
priately named. though she might be
classed in the rose-spotted Japan lily
order, by which may be inferred that
she was far from being pale ethereal
flower.
At the advanced age of eighteen she
was beginning to feel quite grown up;
and the fact perplexed her, particularly
as she failed to discover any means of
broadening her existence, which
seemed to grow narrower as she grew
older Her education was limited to
the advantages the village school sup
piled. and she had read all the books
available, from Pilgrims Progress"
to the latest novel procurable. and was
still signing for new worlds to conquer.
Possessed of refined tastes, and the
usual youthful enthusiasm for every
thing pretty and interesting, she was
yet hedged in to narrow limits by the
very vexing question of ways and
means. Her mother was widow, and
not over strong, whose limited income
just enabled her to keep up the family
credit, as far as external appearance
went. And Miss Lily's pretty dresses
were in nowise the least illustration of
her mothers tasteful ingenuity.
But mamma could render no assist
ance in devising some source of pecuni-
AIRY profit suitable for her daughter
while she remained under the home
roof. any thing that would take her
from her protection being an absurdity
not to be dreamed of.
My daughter will have to wait until
her ship comes in. or till the fairy
prince arrives" mamma said. But she
heaved a secret sigh, nevertheless, and
added: Don't be thinking, dear. of
all the impossible things You would
like to possess, hut rather of how much
You have to enjoy"
That was all very WE'LL" thought
Lily, "for old people and invalids. but
with youth and health there must be
something to expend her surplus ener-
giles on, which she would yet dis
cover"
The March winds were carolling in a
boisterous and noisy fashion about the
house. making the cosy sitting-room
seem unusually cheerful
Lily was scanning the weekly news;
grandpa. with look of calm content,
was contemplating the distant noun
tains, possibly trying to peer into the
still farther and SUMMER beyond,
into which his many old-time friends
had vanished.
She laid down the pape rwith the de-
cisive audible comment: That's Just
what I'll dor'
''What are You just going to do?"
said the silver-haired grandsire, re-
called again to the realities of time.
But Lily was not just then prepared
to answer. my plans. she said. with
respectful dignity. ''are not very def

WoMAN's DEPARTMENT.
Women a. Primary Meetings.

II it were understood that, in every
ward and neighborhood the adult pop
ulation-the whole of them. men and
women-were to control the primary
meetings, there would be no more
trouble in these meetings than there is
in our households. The restraint, the
refining influence of women. would
make that orderly which is now like
the tussling of dogs. And that which is
true of primary meeting is still more
significantly true of Legislatures and
National assemblies. Woman's infiu-
ence. if introduced into public affairs,
would work in the same direction
there that it has worked. and is work.
ing, in social life, in literature and re-
ligious assemblies.
1t strikes many, before reflection,
and none more than women them
selves. that participation in suffrage
would subject them to rudeness. and
10 an exposure painful to delicacy.
As if that very rudeness were not the
result of wOman's absence! As if it
were not her very office to carry with
her whatever is seemly and decorous!

there would be an end of indecent

THE WORLDS OPINION.


Who needs the worlds opinion,
As worldly judgment goes!
'Tis based on little knowledge
And deals with outward shows;
1nfallible it fain would be,
And limit human destiny.
1t stones the seers and prophets
And hunts the thinkers down;
1t crucifies the saviors
And weaves the thorny crown:
Through all the past unfolding years
We trace its trail OF blood and tears.
On every thing progressive
The worlds opinion frowns,
And it pursues its victims
With Prosecutions hounds;
And seldom is 1t true and just
Before their forms are turned to dust
But when a great unfolding
Comes out to challenge all,
The world is loud with praises
From lips of great and small;
Its gool opinion comes too late
To help The good or serve the great.
nv u ~ diAo -cOa hdNS SNNi
Been forced to battle hard
AT each advancing footstep
Proclaimed by seer or bard:
The welcome plaudit of well done!"
Comes only when the battles won.
Whoever adds TO knowledge
Or widels human thought
Must brave the worlds opinion
AS something to be fought
Mast beat its opposition down
Till victory secures the crown.
Perhaps some day the woridlings
VIII learn the good to know.
When words will cease to flourish
And useful things will grow,
When mca will recognize the new,
Ard cease to war On what is true.
Till then stand firm. ye leaders
In every righteous cause,
For surely you must conquer
Through Gods and Natures laws,
And hasten on the joyous day
Which gives to wisdom perfect sway.
Who heeds the worlds opinion
And not his sense OF right,
Will grovel long in darkness
BY shutting out the light;
Ignoring true humanity,
His soul stunted thing will be.
Why heed the worlds opinion!
1t can not change fact,
Nor set aside principle,
Nor modify an act;
IT is as empty. foul or fair,
As bubbles bursting into air.
No man of progress falters.
But seeks the light within,
Which comes from fields immortal
Where is no blight of sin:
Such never from their course will fly,
Though all the world cry: ''Crucifyw
Mankind lack moral courage,
And fear TO try the new,
In sin prefer to grovel
Than untried paths pursue:
And hence the better new they spurn,
Till sins false fruits to ashes turn.
Men have no faith in progress;
They can not understand
Why institutions hoary
Should fall by its command;
They shut their eyes and will not see
The light of truth that maketh free.
Who waits the worlds opinion,
And seeks for its applause,
Grows not beyond its stature,
Gives help to no new cause
Is ever deaf to all appeals,
A clog upon progression's wheels
Pursue your own convictions,
The way the tried have trod;
Be truthful. sincere, honest,
And leave the rest to God;
The true alone can battle sin.
The brave alone can hope to win.
